Our hearts and thoughts are with the communities affected by recent hurricanes and wildfires. Grantmakers in the Arts has a page of resources for arts funders who may be seeking information. GIA has assembled a listing of resources for arts funders who may be seeking information.

Arts Education Advocacy

State-by-State Guide for Arts Education Funding

GIA has released an online state-by-state guide on how States are using their federal funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to support arts education and arts programming in K-12 schools in the United States. The guide serves as an introduction to ESEA, recently updated by Congress through the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and provides guidance in understanding the law, the different programs within it, and how those programs relate to the arts or arts education.

Coronavirus Response: Into the weeds

The impact of the coronavirus pandemic is evident, and we are starting to see shifts as states and countries have entered phase 1 of reopening businesses and public spaces. We are continuing to connect with our peers in the field and share responses and resources from GIA, our members, and our fellow PSOs in order to provide guidance during this time. In this podcast, Ruby Lopez Harper, Brian McGuigan, and Trella Walker join GIA to discuss funding practices that center equity and reframe recovery toward new relationships.
